      <![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I was staring at that billboard trying to figure out what it <b>MEANT,</b> and almost rear-ended the car in front of me. <br />

Advertising should be easily intelligible, otherwise it's a traffic accident waiting to happen!

      <![CDATA[There's a similar one on 99 as you head north, near Pagliacci.  It says "When you vote, remember September 11th".  Passive aggressive Republican advertising?  Wow, they really have keyed into the Seattle market... Can we replace them now that the election is over, though?  (And you'd better believe I was remembering September 11, 2001 when I proudly cast my vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.  MmmHM.  Never again.)
